Himars are equivalent of our TRG-230/300 systems, basically mobile rocket artillery launcher. As @TheInsider said, this is our GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb) equivalent. Which, I might be wrong but, only the second system like this as far as I know.
@TheInsider

Again, i don't write this to look like a smart as* and please don't get me wrong. But if you guys write it is "equivalent", then don't you think that someone, who is not familiar with the subject, will look up GLSDB and think like "Göktan will have same range, dimensions and capabilities"? Wouldn't it be more correct to write "same concept"?
Afaik according to the small amount of information we have about Göktan, it should be far better than GLSDB.

What is the difference between Himars and GLSDB?
Himars is your standard rocket artillery with gps guidance GLSDB is a small glide bomb on a rocket that separates from the rocket after it achieved its altitude and glides in to the ground

So GLSDB has a bigger range than Himars like systems?

No, GLSDB has like 150 km range (afaik) and Himars can have up to 300 km (afaik). Himars is basically just the launching platform for artillery rockets/missile and the range varies with the type of rocket/missile you launch from it.

You're not being a smart ass mate, mainly because "equivalent" doesn't just mean exactly the same, it also means used in the same way, or has the same use or effect. You want me to link a few dictionaries? So, in this case, or any other cases that compare two military systems that does the same thing, the word "equivalent" is correct.

I mean 300 Km range is with atacms which is a tactical balistic missile not the artillery rockets

EDIT
Between you missed my point of my previous post.
Look at my next post please.

Do we know that? Will it be used in the same way only because it has the same concept? Will it have the same effect?
Is KAAN and F-35 equivalent? Is F-16 and JF-17 equivalent?

@Angry Turk !!! and @No Name please ignore this post. Love and thanks.

@boredaf

This is my point. Look at these posts and then look what i have written.

Is this a "Himars" like system?

What is the difference between Himars and GLSDB?

So GLSDB has a bigger range than Himars like systems?

But if you guys write it is "equivalent", then don't you think that someone, who is not familiar with the subject, will look up GLSDB and think like "Göktan will have same range, dimensions and capabilities"?
